1) Bring right pedal to the front
Turn the right crank counterclockwise so that
the right pedal is located in the forward posi-
tion. Once folded, the pedal will thus have
room next to the rear wheel.
2) Take off the seat
Open all three quick release levers of the seat
mounts. Unscrew the nut of the upper seat
quick release approximately 4 turns.Turn the
quick release levers of the middle and lower
seat quick release counter clockwise approxi-
mately 4 turns.
With a Lowrider rack or water bottle mount
installed, space is limited and it may be easier
to hold the quick release lever and turn the
flat nut on the right side (chainside) of the seat
mounts by hand or with a 5 mm allen key.
Pull the lower seat half out of its mounts, then
the upper seat half.
3a) Fold the Above Seat Steering
On bikes with Above Seat Steering, push the
handlebar stem forward, thus folding it down
to the front end of the bike.
3b) Stow the Under Seat Steering
Position yourself on the left side of the trike.
Open the quick release lever of the stem un-
der the frame while pushing the security but-
ton on the lever. Pull the handlebar and stem
half out of the stem. Position the handlebars
on the left side of the bike. Stow the handlebar
by inserting the attached stem half into the
hole of the rubber mount on the seat tube of
the main frame.
4) Fold the frame
Position yourself on the left side of the bike.
Open the quick release lever on the left side
of the folding hinge. Pull the quick release to
the rear, sliding it out of its rest position at the
front part of the folding hinge. Push the quick
release axle downwards to move the security
bolt that is connected to the quick release ax-
le out of its rest position. Hold the bolt against
the spring pressure in this position and use
your other hand to fold the front part of the
frame to the right side.
